LONDON: MONDAY EVENING, AUGUST 20, 1.638, , We see by a Nottingham paper, that Corn sold in that market last week, at 88s. per quarter. We see, also, by the accounts from the Wakefield Corn Mar ket, that Corn there rose Bs. per quarter, last week. At Derby, though it has fallen 55., it was still 85s. on Friday evening. Although it has fallen 4s. to-day in Mark-lane, it is still 84s. per, quarter. As during the last six weeks, Corn has been rising, and as the average of the six weeks publishe , :t last Friday, was 695. 2d., while the we e kly average was 715.8 d., sheavi ng t h at the next average of six weeks will be above 695., and the ave rage after that still higher, it seems very probable that the price of the last six weeks has been such, that al though it now begins to decline, the next average in the next but one will be 735., and the whole of the Wheat iri bond will be introduced at ls. duty. At any rate, every grain of it will ire introduced at a very low rate of duty, and every grain which can be brought over in time from the Cceatinent, where large purchases have of late beeP, made on account of England, will also be intro driced. Our Devonshire friends, who, according to our Exeter Correspondent, are deeply interested in this single point, a well as our agricultural friends in every part of argland who have farms on lease, will now have an opportunity of seeing how ruinously the Corn-law worU for them, and how advantageously it works for the speculator in corn. .Nearly si x h un d red thousand quarters of Wh ea t are in bond, and that quantity, , sith still more, will be brought in for con sumption at the present prices, and present low duties, and will most certainly deprive the farmers who are just beginning, by sending in their new corn, to beat down pri-zes, of that enhancement of price which is neces sary to compensate them for their short crop. They will be much injured, if not ruined, by the Corn-laws. The Church of England is usually called by its friends, the Poor Man's Church, on the same principle as the law is sometimes called the poor man's friend, because it does not protect or serve him. Such an as sertion 1 - ,as been amply rebutted by the single fact that the Wshop of LONDON has 14,0001. a-year, and that upwards of a million of his congregation have DO spiritual pastors or advisers. The late un happy events at Canterbury have thrown a great ?Additional light on this important subject, and the public owe much gratitude to the Central Society of Education for instituting an inquiry on the spot into the condition of the peasantry (which the Parliament, to its disgrace, neglected), and to Mr. LIARDET, for the report he made to the Society. From his pages to-day we shall illustrate the character of the Poor Man's Church, giving, at the seine time, a warning to Sir E. KNATCHBULL and other Corn-law making landlords, that those pages supply some excellent il lustrations of their assu , :ded character of the poor man's guardians and protectors, which we shall borrow on another occasion. In the Ville of Dunkirk he say s ___ " 'Mere was not a church where they (the people) could at tend the ordinr,nces of religion, nor a clergyman to guide and instruct them, nor even a Dissenting minister to supply his place. The place did not even possess a day school in which tee lowest degree of instruction could be imparted. Not to speak of a gentry, there was not a medical man, a farmer, or even a shopkeeper of any description in the place." —" Of late years, however, ther e h as b een a considerable im provement in the district."—" But it is still without church nr chapel, and would be utterly destitute of religious super in tendance or instruction of any kind but for the gratuitous ser vices of the present Vicar of Herne Hill, This gentleman, besides endeavouring to persuade the people to attend his church, has established, at his own expense, a school, kept by a mistress, for the instruction of children."--" The Vim' s in come does not exce e d 3001 . a year. " Here, then, is a district totally destitute of any kind of instruction, except what is supplied by a benevolent man who has the small stipend we have mentioned, and who has great demands on his income from his own parishioners. This Ville, or extra-parochial place, Dunkirk, "contains at present about 700 inhabitants." Our readers would suppose that a place so destitute of instruction, of schools, of churches, of gentry, and even of shop-keepers, must be some far-off island in the stormy seas of the Northern Ocean, where it is a sad specin of banishment to live, did they not know that it is " within view of the spires of Can terhurv." Well, then, they will say it mu s t b e some rude, barren, unsie,htly mass of rocks or sand, offensive to the eve and injuriocts to health. Mr. LIA.RDET says, and we have before said something sirailar— " The scenery of the district is peculiarly English. Gently rising hills and picturesque vales covered with a rich herbage or bearing the show of minute snd skilful husbandry, succeed to each other. Fields of waving corn are interspersed with g :rdens, hop-grounds, and orchards." Well, then, the land must be entailed on some pro fligate, rapacious family, which spends all its income abroad, careless alike of the spiritual and worldly wel fare of the tenants who supply its wealth. The pos essions, it will be supposed, with which the piety f our ancestors endowed the Church in this dis rid, have been appropriated and applied to secular i uses by some Bar.ou, or Baronet of the neigh- bourhood, who has left nothing for the service of Gon. e oh, no, none of them This plate WITHOIIT A CHURCH• or A SCHOOL BE- 1 LONGS to the CLERGY OP THAT CATHEDRAL within sight of the spites of which the Churchless people dwelt. 1' THE WHOLE Of THE PROPERTY (5,700 acres), with the e-xception of about twelve hundred acres belonging to a lay individual, rotors PART O THE POSSESSIONS OP THE DEAN AND CHAPTER OF CANTMIBURY." The Clergy are th landlords—that class of men who are so ex tremely anxious for the instruction of the ';',z,or nut they draw all the rent from the p l , t , ce , and leave the people without either a Church or a school. The light, however, which has been let into this district of the Church, by the affair of Thom, has excited the fear, if not the shame, of the goodly pious landlords of Dunkirk, and they have set about erecting a a Church, and th e pu bli c i s already called on to contribute to the expense, while it is told to ad mire the surpassing goodness and generosity of the Dean and Chapter of Canterbury. Such then is the Poor Man's Church. It takes the produce of the poor man's labour, and leaves him without the least particle of instruction which can either adorn his mind, prilmote his worldly welfare, or make him acquPj.nted with the relations in which he stands to the :treat Creator of the Universe. Some of our Canterbury readers, acquainted with the antiquities of the spot, may, perhaps, enable us to state to the public how the Dean and Chapter became possessed of the land—by what tenure they hold it— and what services they are expected to perform for its possession ?—and may so enable us to make known, with advantage to the public, during the cessation of More interesting intelligence, the extraordinary merits of the Poor Man's Church. T. 'he London and Westminster Review has taken the opportunity of a demand for a Second Edition, to putforth its own opinions on " Lord DIJRHANI and his assailants." In the main they concur with our own, the writer insisting on the propriety of considering, above all things, the substantial merits of the ordi nances. We must quote what it says of one part of the ordinance, and of Mr. LEADER, as marking a dif ference, not to say quarrel, between that Gentleman and his Radical friends : " It was called an ordinance for putting men to death with out trial. But without trial Was it not, on the contrary, distinctly stated in the ordinance, that there should be a trial ? Not, indeed, for rebellion ; the ordinance is one of amnesty for reb...ilion ; amnesty to the men whom it banishes, as much as to those whom it sets free altogether. Not being to be punished for rebellion, it is rather unnecessary that they should be tried for it. The punishment denounced by the ordinance, is punishment for the violation of the ordinance ; it is the sanction with which every prohibitive enactment must be ac companied. The ordinance is not a judicial act, it is a legis lative act; it is not to punish men for their past conduct; it is to restrain their future conduct ; it imputes to them no guilt ; it has nothing to do with their guilt, it has to do only with the consequences of their being at large in the colony." " If indeed there were the slightest colour for the suppo sition that even one of these twenty-three men were banished for ever ; if it were not obvious from the whole tenor of the ordinance, as well as from all which is known of Lord Dur ham, his advisers, and his purposes, that the sole object of it is, as the ordinance itself declares, to provide for the present security of this province ;' if the door were not studiously and widely opened to let in even Mr. Papineau himself to-morrow, if he should be able to satisfy Lord Durham that his influence would be used to restore peace to the public mind instead of disturbing it ; we could then understand the passionate in vectives of Mr. Leader, which are at present as unintelligible to us as they are, for his own sake, lamentable." If the Tories imagine that they can drown the voice of the people in the noise of those festivities which they have, as usual, commenced at the close of the Parliamentary Session, they will find themselves woefully mistaken. They have succeeded in stopping the march of Reform for another season ; but whether they shall have cause to consider that as a triumph, is a problem which yet remains to be solved. We would advise them to withdraw their thoughts for a moment from the contemplation of the scenes which have taken place in the Houses of Parliament, and to fix their eyes upon the consequences which those scenes are producing out of doors. They may hare it all their own way in the Hereditary Chamber. They may make that Chamber the instrument of their party purposes, and the organ of that hatred which they entertain towards the people, and everything popular : but there are some appearances in the political horizon which indicate that the people will no longer tamely submit to their insolent domina tion, nor much longer endure those privations which they have hitherto borne too patiently, and which all result from the usurpation by the few, of the rights o the many. The great meeting .at Manchester, which we no ticed on Saturday, is only one of a series. At Bir mingham, Dublin, and other places, similar manifesta tions of the popular feeling have taken place, and be fore long the demonstration will be national. Al ready eighty-nine cities and towns, it appears, have appointed delegates to represent them at a general convention, to be held in the metropolis. What have the Tories to oppose to this vast display of the power of the working classes ? Will the roar of midnight revelry stand them in stead in a contest with millions ? We think not. We tell them that the people are assuming an attitude which must strike terror into-their hearts, and that the day is not far distant when it will be proved, by ex perience, that all that a nation wants in order to be free is to will its freedom. We have learned with indignation, though certainly after the affair of the Vixen without surprise, that Russia has seized and sent to Sebastopol an English schooner cruising in the Black Sea, under the pretext that she was laden with gunpowder for the use of the Circassians. This vessel, the name of which has not reached us, left Constantinople on the 4th ult., sailed to Trebisonde, where she discharged part of her cargo, and thence sailed for Redout Kale, when she was chased by a Russian brig of war, the Commander of which made prisoners of the crew, and sent the schooner to Sebastopol, as we have already stated. We are not vet in possession of all the facts connected with this affair, and therefore we shall for the present content ourselves with directing attention to it. In the mean time we would ask, is theßlack Sea, like the Caspian, really a Russian lake ? The P aris Journals of Friday and Saturday have all been received, in which, among other things, refe rence is made t o the debate in the House of Lords on Tuesday last relative to the French blockade of Mexico, in anything but a friendly spirit. To convey an evidence of the bitter tone assumed by the French Journals in commenting upon this debate we quote the following extract from an article in the Courrier Francais of Saturday : " It is not a month since Marshal Soult traversed England in triumph, and heard his name joined in the same cry with that of Wellington. As a sign of the alliance between the two nations, nobles and citizens, squires and manufacturers, mingled their applause as the French Marshal passed. In banquets and assemblies the union of France and England was the eternal burden, and was held up as a sufficient gu4rantee of the peace of the world. So explicit and solemn a demon,tra tion, in the face of the representatives of Europe, profoundly touched us. We deemed that England had forsworn her old prejudices; but it would seem otherwise. The English press teems with insult, which individuals like to repeat. One moment a banker, the patron of all that is narrow and igno rant in radicalism, condescends to flatter the passions of the populace by preaching about Vittoria and Waterloo. Another time some newly-dubbed patrician, like Lord Lyndhurst, sacks, as usual with him, to raise th e L or d s i n enteute against the ambiti ous v i ews of the ' French Government, because the latter shows some wish to avenge insults offered to the national flag. Must France, then, in accepting the alliance of Eng land, submit to a kind tutela:e, or must she support from friends insults which she would not tolerate from enemies ? We are not astonished at Tory rancour. That old woman's party must cling, as for existence, to the alliance of Euro pean aristocracies. But that the English Radicals should adopt and re-echo all this antiquated and stupid hate is past our comprehension." ' The Moniteur has an official paragraph upon the THE SUN, LONDON, MOVDAY, AUEJUST A); iBgB .- • . same sub ec't, 4 nittcriicss of tone of the othe'r Aok;itais is wiselY`eXellided: As it eririVes sonic= thing like an in'tiniaiion .on tki'e Bf speedy tominaitictiA c the Mexican blockade, we gladly giVt it insertion " The attitude assumed by France required severe mea sures; but those measures have all along been colcuted with a due regard to friendly vations. I l lrh,itvre3h betier evidence of it than th e words ut,t+ea liy,Lo t id Palmerston in a recent sitting of Parliament Metl.to alone has been deeply injured by the rigoiti• of the blockade : its revenue, consisting almost exclusively of Customs' duties, has already been considerably diminished. Evzxything, in short, denotes that this severe is about to put a stop to the difficulties which hi- It - ..rto have rendered any arrangement impossible. Rear- Admiral Baudin has, besides, just departed with forces calcu lated promptly to overcome all resistance, if that resistance should still exist on his arrival." The English Foreign Secretary, and the French offi cial organ, are both mistaken in assuming that the Mexi cans have only been injured by the blockade. British commerce has sustained a share in the injury which has been inflicted upon the Mexicans. We cannot, therefore, understand upon what principle our mer chants should be denied a right to grumble ; or why their grumblings, because their commercial interests are affected, should be regarded as evidences of national jealousy by any party in France. The French papers copy an article from the Ger man Courier on the subject of the mystery which overshadows the negociations at Toplitz, which are reported to be conducted by the Emperor of RUSSIA and Prince METTERNICH, to the exclusion of the Etivoo of Prussia. In the Russian War Department the preparations for a campaign in some direction are reported to be unusually active. The subjoined extracts include all the news in the Paris journals : There arc at present at Paris 14 Regiments of Cavalry, I n . fantry, and Artillery, viz., three of Cavalry, one of Artillery. one of Light Infantry, nine of Infantry of the line, and also four Companies of Veterans. We have received the Alyerine Moniteur of the 11th of August, containing an Order of the Day, announcing to the army the arrival of Lieut. Baron Gucheneuc, who has been sent to Africa by the King's order, and is to go to Oran to review the troops of the division, and assume the command of the province.— Constitutionnel. THE PRINCE DE JOINVILLE.--His Majesty by a Royal deci sion of this day, has conferred on the Prince de Joinville, cap tain of corvette, the command of La Creole, a corvette of 24 guns. La Creole will shortly proceed to join the blockading squadron on the coast of Mexico, commanded by Counter- Admiral Baudin. The Prince will have thus stopped but a short time with his fan'tily. On the 16th of July his Royal Highness arrived in Paris, after remaining at sea during an entire year. A month afterwards, day for day, the King signed the ordinance which calls him to new fatigues and more serious dangers. The King wished it, and the impatient desire of the young Prince had anticipated the Royal resolution. On hearing that the French navy was about to assume in Mexico a more menacing attitude, his Royal Highness hastened back from Luneville to vindicate with ardour his place among our seamen and soldiers. This is a generous eagerness, and a noble example But our Princes are aware that it is only at that price they can now show themselves worthy of commanding the armies and fleets of France. —Journal des Debats. PRINCE Louts' NAPOLEON.—A correspondent of the Mes sager at Zurich writes on the 13th instant, that on Prince Louis Napoleon arriving in the town on the 11th, and the news of the Duke de Montebello's note being made known, public indignation rose to a high pitch among all classes; and that the commune of Oberstrass, a suburb of Zurich, elected the Prince one of its citizens. This honour, it is added, the Prince would not accept, because in Switzerland no one can be a citizen of two communes at the same time. BLOCKADE OF MEXICO.—The Nouvelliste bestows great praise on M. Bazouche for the energy and tact with which he has conducted the blockade of the Mexican ports, and h as in tercepted all communications with the small number of vessels at his disposal. "To accomplish this result," the above mentioned journal says, " he was obliged to have recourse to an infinite number of stratagems and manoeuvres. He multi plied the expeditions of his brigs, sent them from one end of the Gulf to the other, and at each expedition changed the cut of their sails, and even varied the colour of their water lines, so that the same vessel appeared two or three times in sight of the coast, ran a few tacks, and afterwards stood out to sea to perform the same manoeuvre on another point. The Mexicans thus imagined that their coast was guarded by at least 20 brigs, which were in constant communication. The only circumstance for which they were unable to account was the French commander's de lay in laying siege to Vera Cruz. At a Council of War, held on board the Iphigenie, it was decided that 22 large vessels were actually necessary to silence the fire from the citadel of Ulloa, the strongest fortification of the New World, and which is defended by upwards of 300 pieces of heavy metal. If such be the fact, how are we to designate the order contained in M. Basouche'ainstructions to attack the citadel with only two frigates and four brigs?" The Messager states, that the cir cumstance- of Mexican Government baring positively re fused to listen to any terms of arrangement so long as M. Deffaudis remained in the country has been considered by the Ministers as a fresh act of aggression ; and is what has led to the determination already mentioned of immediately sending out thither an imposing naval force. It has also been decided, as this journal informs us, that M. Deffaudis shall return to Mexico, with the squadron, as Charge d'Affaires. "It is doubtful," adds the Messager, " whether the loss sustained by Mexico in the Customs is not exceeded by the loss to French trade and to that of our allies." RUSSIAN FINANCE.—The Minister of Finance of Russia at a recent meeting of the Financial Council stated, that the funded and unfunded debt of Russia on the Ist of January amounted to 940,867,257 roubles in assignats. The Commis sion for the redemption of the national debt received last year to the extent of 68,815,177 roubles of assignats. The Loan Bank of the empire made a net profit for th same year of 838 roubles in gold, 37,556 silver roubles, and 4,14 1,951 paper roubles. Such has been the predilection, the Minister in formed the Council, for keeping Exchequer Bills, that the Commission had not been able to redeem for more than 623,750 roubles, which were to be burnt at a future sitting of the Council. Besides this first sum, 22,500 roubles of the bills of the three first series have been paid off, so that there are not more than 22,500 roubles of these three series now in circulation. The price of the third and fourth loans at 5 per cent. has kept up during the year 1837 above par, so that the Commission has not been able to apply the funds in hand to their redemption, and should the market price not fall during the months of August and September, the Commission will proceed to the drawing of the number to be paid off. The four hew bells of the Church of St. Roch, were bap. tized on Friday by the Archbishop of Paris, in presence of the Queen. A compar.y of Grenadiers of the second legion of the National Guard attended the ceremony ! A Spanish Grandee, the Duke of Berwick, stood as godfather for one of the bells ! JEALOUSY AND SUICIDE.—An individual named Chambrol, residing at Leon-lc-Franc, in the Creuse, who had been re. duced to poverty from a state of comparative affluence, lately committed suicide by setting fire to a granary in which he had for some nights been in the habit of sleeping. Previously to the commission of the fatal act he had, under the influence of jealousy, made a furious attack upon his wife and his mother in. law, who were with some difficulty saved from his violence by the intervention of the neighbours. The females, with the wretched man's children were rescued from the flames, but their farm, barn, cowhouse, and cattle, and also the farm house of a neighbour, were totally destroyed by The confla gration. The next day Chambrol's blackened corpse was found under the ruins. SUICIDE BY A PRISONER. —A prisoner confined in the don jon of Niort, threw himself from the top of one of the towers fo the prison, a few days since, and was killed on the spot. The body of the unfortunate man in falling made several ro tatory movements, with such extreme rapidity, that the per sons who witnessed the catastrophe at first thought that some article of wearing apparel had been accidentally dropped from the tower, and were undeceived only by the heavy sound made by the boly on coming in contact with the ground.

The following are extracts from them Baussm,s, Aro. io.—His Excellency Fethi Pacha, Am bassador from the Ottoman Port to her Britannic Majesty, has arrived at the Hotel de Belle Vue, accompanied by his Secretary and a numerous suite. Lieutenant-General Upton and Baron Stockmar have also arrived from London. VIENNA, AUG. 9.—General V. 13utenieff, Russian Ambas sador to the Ottoman Ports, has set out to-day for Trieste, to embark for Constantinople. The exchang e of cou r i ers be tween Vienna and Toplitz, as well as with Paris and London, is at present very frequent. Most of the Foreign Ambassa dors who are to be present at the Coronation at Milan have already set out for Italy. PESTII, AUGUST 7.—The conflict which toak place on occasion of the elections in this city, between the Royal Commissioner Baren V. Medyanski, and the elec tor,;, and which so much attracted public attention here, is now ended. The electors having, a few days ago, received a serious ; rcpreman4 from the superior. ; authority, for their cyarreritablp cOnduct, apd being, e4orted to„do their duty,., the gonttni.aiion or, it . : e'ections, which was interillipi3O, was '?f ed.,. for the 6th of this month, On Which tity !!!:, 0 . - _ , ! , .7 efectOrs out of one hundred and twenty assembled.

After the election Te Deum was performed in the parish Church. Our private and public buildings are ad vancing pretty rapidly, and about 10,000 workmen are em ployed. This naturally give some animation to the city, which has, in a great de g ree,. recovered from the effects of its late disasters. The Archduke Palatine frequently comes from his country scat to the city, to inspect the works and to give necessary directions. Neither he himself nor any of his family goes to the Coronation at Milan, but many other per sons of rank from Hungary, will go, among whom is Count V. Pyrker, the Patriarch Archbishop of Erlau.

Letters from Constantinople of the 31st ult., an nounce the receipt of advices from Tabreez to the 9th, containing further particulars of the departure of the British Ambassador from the Persian Court. Mr. M'NEIL broke off all communication with the SCHAH on the 3d of June, and on the 7th struck his tent before Herat, proceeding to Meshid, from whence he expected to reach Teheran on the 20th. Previous to seamg out for Teheran, Mr. M'NEIL sent off Colonel TODD with despatches to the British Govern ment in India, setting forth the reasons that had in duced him to take such a step. The political news from the Turkish capital is not important. We copy from the correspondence of the Herald of this morning the following account of a dreadful hurricane experienced there on the 27th ult.:— " We had a dreadful gale of wind here, which set in so suddenly, and came on with such fury, that a great many boats and lives were lost. I hear that upwards of 130 bodies have already been washed ashore on the coast of the Marmora alone. The lightning was of the most awful description, and was so near that it was smelt distinctly by a great many people. Buildings in elevated situations were struck, several individuals were killed, and many more knocked down in a state of insensibility. A guard, who was " standing at ease" under the tower of Shiloh, had his musket shivered (the bayonet had attacted the electric fluid), and it was thought he was killed, but by an immediate bleeding he was restored. Trees were converted into splinters, one house in Pera was set on fire, and when it was broken open to extinguish the flames, all the inhabitants were found lying insensible, but not dead. They recovered, and the fire was readily got under. The wind was so resistless that tiles were seen flying about like leaves in an autumnal gale. It was dangerous to be in the street. At last the rain came down in torrents, and the force of the storm was broken, although it continued to blow very hard for near 24 hours, which is very unusual at this season, when squalls are generally counted by minutes only. A vessel was dismasted in the port by lightning, one man killed, and two others struck down. In the Black Sea there must have been severe losses. Four wrecks were seen on the Southern coast by the Trebi sonde steamer. Four coasters from Mondavia went down, with sundry bales of rich silk, which were insured here. We shall, probably, never know the full extent of the damage. For two or three days previous to the coming on of this hurricane the weather had been oppressively warm. This storm has committed no small injury in the interior. The crop of Valonea in particular has suffered. In some places three-fourths of it were shaken down by the wind. I have not heard that the fruit suffered at Smyrna. Indeed, a letter from there, written after the event in question, says that the crop will be more abundant by a quarter than that of last year.
